An archive Marillion live concert recording on BBC6 music. I really should be in bed by now, but I cant turn it off.Im not even a marillion fan, but the joy of hearing Incommunicado, followed by Kayleigh, and then some other fantastic power ballads is rooting me to the sofa urging me to imbibe "just one more rum and coke." Its either captainsh morgansh doing it, or the music. Either way, I feeeeel good.

Anyhoo, for those curious enough, the gig will be on listen again until next saturday, somewhere on the bbc 6 music site.

Roomie and I were discussing how horrible music got in the late 70s, when talent and competence was replaced with punk and new wave and ugliness. Singers became proud of their inability to sing, musicians became proud of their inability to play, and the whole musical creative endeavor was taken over by money-hungry producers twisting knobs in the studio. Jeezus fuckin' Christ.

So I felt a need to go back to the fountainhead of rock, The Who. Who's Next is on. I'll probably follow it with Quadrophenia. Then maybe Live At Leeds. This is the kind of music that resuscitates my soul.

I just got Slash's "solo" album yesterday at my brother's suggestion. I'm on the fence about it, but I've only listened to like the first four tracks (including the one with Fergie which so far is my favorite)

Shame! Definitely try to check out their album Hippies from this year.

I will!

As it turns out, I missed The Dead Weather and pretty much everything else. Friend of mine had too much to drink and I spent the evening taking care of her (and not in the fun tipsy co-ed kind of way, but more in the holding back her hair kind of way).

listening to Ted Kirkpatrick's IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASTERS. the song writer and drummer for the Christian heavy metal band TOURNIQUET drumming to some amazing pieces of classical music is i guess how you would describe this. kind of a fusion with some heavy drums to classical pieces

One of the last times St. Alphonso stopped by The Zone recommended The Bad Plus.Here is their version of Rush's Tom Sawyer. For some reason I've felt inclined to spread this band and this particular song today.

Achievement Unlocked: TOTAL DOMINATION (Win a Werewolf Game without losing a single player on your team)

Definitely one of the best rap albums this yr, well the actual EP anyway though the mixtape is sweet too.

Whats your opinion on Die Antwoord? I havent been able to make my mind up on them. I can't tell if they are supposed to be parody or not. Or whether they should be adopting these personas at all. Regardless I think the music is pretty interesting.

Working away to some Jurassic 5 right now. Power in numbers.And more than likely listen to The Fall - Your future, our clutter album AGAIN. Always liked them from afar in bits and pieces, but this latest album is fantabulous.Beyond that, hmmmmm not quite sure, but will probably end up with some orbital. YOU LOT at least.The ability to listen to music at work is an absolute godsend.

I'm a sucker for chick fronted rock bands anyway, but aside from the fact that the lead singer is teh hotness, they are actually pretty good for a genre that chews up and spits out bands every few weeks...
